Cable needle needed for cable stitches. Darning needle required to weave in stitches. Knit from the toe up, these lacy socks feature a figure-8 cast on and a short-row heel. There’s plenty of knitting adventure to be had with a different pattern on the front and the back and the use of both lace and cable techniques. The pattern is written for two circular needles, but you may choose the circular knitting method that you prefer. Enjoy and Happy Knitting!
